Picked up a junker TF Unicron for customs at a Goodwill for $4 tonight.

And a very cool Ross find, GI Joe PoC Ashiko with the cycle armor! For $8.99.

Ashiko looks like he uses the Mercenary Wraith body and armor retooled with pegs, the whole motorcycle breaks down and attaches to him for battle mech armor! Can't wait to break him open!

Hope it's half as cool looking as the old '80s Cyclone armor from Robotech/Macross!

Note the subtle John Cusack reference

Dude! Please let me know if you can pick me up one. Those never hit my area and I have no Ross stores anywhere near me. I'd love to rip one of those open, play with it and pretend it's Robotech.

No problem dude, I'll definitely be scouting for extras. Not even close to being as cool as the Robotech Cyclone suit, but a great alternative for $9 instead of $100 or whatever a used Cyclone commands these days.....

roadrevenge · 02-10-2012, 06:42 AM

As I mentioned here, that I had a 2 part order.

Box number 2 came in! Whooo Hoooo

Seeing Unicron in that pose brings a whole new meaning to the song "In Your Eyes."

Back OT: Picked up Prime Deluxe Cliffjumper, Bumblebee and Prime CVL Ratchet, CJ and Arcee on Wednesday from a couple different Targets. Also got Prime Soundwave, MU Skrull Soldier, MU A.I.M. Soldier and a replacement MegaBloks Mark V minifig (first one was missing a paint app on his thigh), all last night from Target/Walmart.

Got some other stuff en-route and will post as they arrive. Pics coming soon.

Dude, if you find one. I'd gladly buy it off you too. I've been dying to get my hands on that guy for ages! Same reason too being such badass homage to Robotech/Bubblegum crisis.

Man, this makes me want to go check marshall's and tj maxx again.

roadrevenge · 02-10-2012, 11:40 AM

A little haul and some free Promotional loot from my local figure store.

behindthemask · 02-10-2012, 12:03 PM

Nice haul RoadRevenge, and bighankcustoms add me to the list if u find another cycle armour set. I actually seen them at Winners like 3+ months ago and had it in my hands and was going to buy it, but couldn't justify it as it wasn't MU, but now thinking it would be badass. I got my custom cast MU scale Tony Stark Head in, along with my Flight Stands! going to take some pics and post em later.

Optimus Vader · 02-10-2012, 12:29 PM

How beautiful is this haul?

blasekbh · 02-10-2012, 12:37 PM

Considering I have been home sick all week, and playing way too much Old Republic, I managed to leave the house and find the new RID figures... these were the only 2 I wanted.

D00MTR0N · 02-10-2012, 12:57 PM

found this at my lcs for $6:

I checked ebay and saw this was going for upwards of $40?

trebleshot · 02-10-2012, 01:09 PM

That's crazier than he is.

yep there was one that sold for $70 and I guess there was a running change so this one was an early first release and then they went to a version where the figure is in the packedge different to show articulation?idk,but there is a lot on ebay now for both variations and its like $101.

Nice, I have the WJ, hopefully I can get the RID Voyager Prime and Mega this weekend, I hope you used the 3.00 dollar off coupon that Target/Hasbro has out currently.
